Assigning Names and Scan Rates
When you specify non-computer devices (MasterConsole units) connected to base MCIP
channels, these devices are assigned default names in the base MCIP Selection Menu.
Because computers can be connected to each channel of an MCIP unit, a page is automatically
created for the MCIP in the Selection Menu, listing Channel IDs with default names for each
channel. These names may be changed using the Edit Names and Scan Rate Menu.
To change Names and/or Channel-Specific Scan Rates:
1. Activate the OSUI by pressing the Hot Key three times rapidly. When it appears, press F3 to
access the Edit Names and Scan Rate Menu.
Figure 9 Edit Names and Scan Rate Menu (Base MasterConsole IP)
2. Use the Tab, Shift-Tab or З / И keys to move the cursor to the line you want to edit. Use Е
/ Ж to move within a line.
a. To change the Name of any computer connected to the base unit, type up to eight
alphanumeric characters (no spaces).
b. To change the Channel-Specific scan Rate for any highlighted channel (default is 3
seconds): Type a number from 00 to 99 (in seconds). When the AutoScan Mode in the
Configuration Menu is set to Individual, these Channel-Specific Scan Rates are enabled.
If the AutoScan mode is set to Global, the global scan rate will be used.
3. When you move to a different page or exit this menu, you are prompted to save your changes.
Press Y to save.
4. To exit the Edit Names and Scan Rate Menu: Press any Menu F (Function) key to go to
another menu, or press Esc to return to the Selection Menu.
